Abstract

See full text

A co-processor resource manager allocates resources of a co-processor platform to nodes implementing operations requested by applications running on a host processor according to a user-modifiable prioritization of the operations. Lower priority nodes can be evicted by the manager to resolve resource conflicts for newly requested operations. The manager utilizes a query test for the platform driver or client to override eviction or prevent eviction by downgrading an operation's resource usage. A platform driver tracks resource usage of nodes, and classifies resources as singly allocatable or countable types to maintain co-processor resource manager independence from the co-processor platform.
